But what about anyone night fishing, Judd?
What about strangers to that area who not expecting a bloomin' great hole to suddenly loom up?
What about swimmers/children or animals in the water - even fish? Do they all go down the hole?
Wonder if any bodies have been dumped down there?
What's it even there for?

It's an overflow, just like you have in your sink.

If you look closely at this video, you can see a line suspended between two points of the reservoir which also has white floats at certain intervals. This line is to keep people away from the plughole. If they choose to `cross the line` then it's their own own fault for ignoring it.

If there was physical barrier that someone climbed over MIGHT offer some defence. Might.
